Avast user here, too. I used to use AVG, but I switched to Avast when I got a new computer, and I love it. AVG's nagging was pretty annoying, but still way better than Norton, Symantec, and their ilk.
We just had my grandmother's funerals. There were two, since she had lived in Connecticut for the last decade, but had spent her first eighty years in South Carolina. I'm not a funeral person (that statement probably sounds weird, but my mother will go to just about any funeral she hears about), but I really wanted to be with my family at this time.
I looked at the corpse at the first funeral, but not at the second. Some loser cousin of mine told me that if I wanted to know what I would look like in my fifties, I should look at my mother, and that if I wondered how I'd look in my nineties, I should look in the casket. He wasn't trying to be hurtful or funny. That was the sad part.
I didn't look in the casket at the second funeral, because I didn't find it helpful the first time. It just reinforced the notion that my grandmother no longer existed. Looking at the empty shell did nothing for me.
I don't have anything against other people looking at the corpses of loved ones, or taking pictures, it's just not my thing, and I have no interest in partaking in either activity.
